Yes I ordered the 2.3 to get it faster thinking there would be plenty of mods available for that popular 2.3 Ecoboost, has anyone seen anything?

I'm guessing you'll be able to do something like this:

That being said, I don't know why you would.

Most likely won't be anything Bronco specific until after they are out in the market and AM has their hands on them too

Thanks! Can't imagine not adding exhaust and CAI to any ride :)

Make sure to do an Intercooler as well, stock on 2.3t is adequate at best

INTERCOOLER & CHARGE PIPES

-The stock intercooler on the Mustang is small. While it does okay on the stock tune, once we try and push more boost, especially in the high RPMs, the temperatures rise rapidly. With the new giant intercooler, this all changed.

-CP-E offers two intercoolers, and several charge pipe options for the Mustang. For these tests, we used our Stage-2 race intercooler. This is one of the biggest cores on the market, at 21″x17″x3.75″ or 1339 cubic inches. For comparison, the stock intercooler is 5.5″x20,6″x3,25″ or 368 cubic inches. This means our race intercooler has a 3.6 times larger core than stock! The smaller CP-E stock-fitment intercooler would have worked just fine for this test & allowed us to keep the grill shutters, but the owner of the car wanted to leave room for future upgrades.

We did several tests with the new intercooler, to compare the charge-air temperatures. The intercooler was able to pick up 30whp and 11wtq with zero tuning changes!

New numbers = 275whp and 315wtq.

The stock intercooler was really holding it back! Compared to the peak of 173 degrees of the stock intercooler, the new CP-E intercooler kept the peak temperature down at 90 degrees. Keep in mind, it was 83 degrees in the shop! We also loaded the COBB Stage-2 tune as well, which is made to optimize a larger intercooler. It picked up a few more HP here.

We then went back and loaded the stock tune – just to see if there was any difference with the bigger intercooler on a totally stock tune. Even with the throttle being closed most of the run (due to the aftermarket intake), the car picked up 10hp in the top-end vs the stock baseline. This shows that even if you don’t plan on tuning the car, the intercooler is still a worthwhile investment for efficiency, cooling, and power.

I hope there's an intercooler and charge pipes asap

Interesting. I haven't much experience with the Ford boosted engines, been a GM man my whole life. Thanks for the insight!

Welcome.

When I had a my old Mustang, I was lucky to get it in the fall, but upgraded the Intecooler and Chargepipes by Febuary. This time around, gonna just do them first, regardless of what else I have on hand. Ford would be wise to partner with (and overprice for their cut) Mishimoto or someone to create "Ford Performance" Intercooler kit, even though there are better companies out there
